| Abstract | ||||
| LEED, BREEAM, Green Pyramid, and TARSHEED Rating Systems are incapable of maintaining the health and welfare of building occupants, so many claims have been against developers, engineers, and real estate owners, due to sick building syndromes (SBS) related to the poor design of the aspect. Many of the environment-related aspects directly contradict the health-related aspects. The S.R.A focuses on the sustainable aspects, regardless of the health impact of humans using this building. Light can affect human health through the systems visible and invisible to the eye and its impact on eyestrain and headache. Stress and depression are two of the most common psychological disorders and diseases in modern communities living in apartments and dark, narrow houses. As a result, it appears that the effect of light and spatial proportion in modern small houses plays a significant role in the occurrence and treatment of these disorders. We could prevent and treat these disorders with flexible design , lighting ,and optimal space design. The main objective of this study is to design well-lit spaces to preserve the health and well-being of the occupants of the building and to achieve visual comfort through the application of the elements that lead to this, in addition to the building being compatible with sustainable rating systems and knowing any system concerned with lighting and human comfort. | ||||
